SkinVive -
Hyaluronic Acid Micro-droplet
skin booster
​
Hydrate, smooth and restore skin quality — SKINVIVE (the Juvéderm® micro-droplet HA treatment) delivers tiny, intradermal deposits of hyaluronic acid to improve skin hydration, smoothness and radiance without adding noticeable volume.

​​
How it works
SKINVIVE uses a micro-droplet technique: Placement of many tiny deposits of stabilised hyaluronic acid into the dermis. These micro-reservoirs attract and retain moisture, improving skin hydration from within and smoothing superficial lines and texture. Over weeks, the treated skin appears more radiant, supple and refined.
​
​
Benefits
​
SKINVIVE is ideal for both men and women who want to:
• Improve skin texture and hydration rather than add volume.
• Reduce fine lines and boost radiance across cheeks, lower face and neck.
• Avoid downtime or aggressive resurfacing procedures.
​
A full consultation is required to confirm suitability (pregnancy, breastfeeding, active infection, recent isotretinoin use and certain medications may preclude treatment).

What to expect
​​
What to expect
• Pre-treatment consultation: Medical history, expectations and consent.
• Treatment (around 30 min): The area to be treated will be cleansed and marked into 1cm squares, then multiple micro-droplet injections will be administered across the cheeks (and other areas if appropriate).
• Post-treatment: You may have pinpoint redness, tiny bumps or mild swelling which generally settles quickly. Expect gradual improvement over 1-2 weeks as hydration increases.
​
Areas commonly treated
• Cheeks
• Perioral region
• Neck
​
Aftercare — easy but important
​
To ensure optimal results and safety:
• Avoid touching or massaging treated areas for 6–24 hours.
• Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas and hot baths for 24–48 hours.
• Skip alcohol for 24 hours pre/post to reduce bruising risk and avoid strong active skincare (retinoids, strong acids) for 2–3 days.
• Use gentle cleanser, moisturiser and broad-spectrum SPF daily; stay well hydrated.
• Book a follow-up as recommended.
​
Risks, side-effects & safety
Common: mild redness, swelling, tenderness, tiny bumps or bruising that resolve within days.
• Less common/rare: infection, allergic reaction, or persistent lumps — minimised by experienced injectors and sterile technique. Inform your clinician of all medications and medical history.
​
Why choose a medical clinic
Medical assessment, customised treatment plans, and strict device protocols ensure safe, predictable, and clinically effective outcomes. Dermalux treatment in a regulated medical clinic maximises results and minimises risks.

FAQ
Q: Is SKINVIVE a dermal filler?
A: It’s a hyaluronic acid injectable specifically formulated for intradermal micro-droplet placement to improve skin quality and hydration rather than to create volume like traditional fillers.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: Many patients receive a single treatment; we commonly recommend repeat treatments every 6-9 months to maintain results.
Q: When will I see results?
A: Some patients notice immediate subtle improvement; full hydration and textural benefits typically develop over several weeks as the HA integrates into the dermis.
Q: Does it hurt?
A: Discomfort is generally minimal as the product contains a numbing agent.
Q: Can SKINVIVE be combined with other treatments?
A: Yes — it is commonly combined with other treatments (fillers, neuromodulators, skin boosters, LED).
